ENHANCEMENT/MITIGATION MEASURES AND COMPLEMENTARY INITIATIVES

Dans le document ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (Page 9-0)

The project activities shall be executed on the basis of the legal framework in Somalia especially in compliance with the constitution but also with due consideration of the Bank’s requirements and in accordance with other international regulations to which Somalia is a signatory. The ESMP as presented in the table below summarises the enhancement and mitigation measures proposed.

8. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MONITORING PROGRAMME

Monitoring aims to ensure that mitigation and enhancement measures are implemented to feed into the normal project reporting and evaluation of the project, which determine the success, failure and lessons learnt. This should be done regularly to ensure compliance with the ESMP as well as ensuring compliance with environmental standards and procedures including relevant policies and legislations.

The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) will be response for the overall management of implementation of the ESMP. The PIU will work under the direct supervision of the implementing Agency, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) working with the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources (MoEWR) who is the executing agency, Ministry of Environment (MoE), Ministry of Public Works, and Ministry of Public Health and Hygiene (MoPH). The contractor(s) will be accountable for the implementation of the mitigation measures to the PIU during the construction and initial operation phases. The contractor(s) will also responsible for preparing site specific construction ESIAs which they will include in their schedule of works. It is also expected that the contractor must have a designated personnel to monitor environmental, safety and health matters during construction works, and report regularly to PIU and IOM.

Due to capacity challenges, it is anticipated that an environmental expert (consulting firm) shall be appointed as part of the project to provide advice on the implementation and monitoring of environmental and social measures and will be responsible for supervising and reviewing the works as regards environmental and social requirements, safety, and quality assurance systems and plan the supervision functions to ensure that works are implemented while protecting the social and environment aspects.

9. CONSULTATIONS

Communities and stakeholders were engaged to help identify and discuss environmental and social impacts anticipated. Stakeholders were identified and consultative meetings held. Additional consultations will be carried out prior to the commencement of the construction works. At that time additional consultations will be carried together with the donor agencies, FGS and the relevant government institutions, local authorities, private companies, local and international NGOs, CSOs, CBOs, religious groups, learning institutions, business communities among other locally based stakeholders. The consultative meetings will aim to develop a social inclusion strategy for community mobilization, sensitization and education aimed at ensuring effective participation.

10. RESPONSIBILITIES AND INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS

In addition to the roles and responsibilities discussed in sections 5 and 10, there will be a capacity needs assessment undertaken to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to the water sector institutions. Training tools and programs will be customized to match the capacity needs identified.

Capacity building will be through training and participation in the project implementation process. There will also be sessions for technology transfer to the relevant authorities who will be charged with the responsibility of implementing future water supply projects.

11. ESTIMATED COST

Implementing cost for the environmental and social mitigation measures, monitoring/supervision and capacity building is estimate at USD0.273 million.

12. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE AND REPORTING

The project Implementing Agency, International Organization for Migration (IOM), in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources (MoEWR), Ministry of Environment (MoE), Ministry of Public Works, and Ministry of Health (MoH) and community members will ensure compliance with the environmental and social monitoring aspects of the project. The yet to be identified environmental consulting firm will monitor implementation of the mitigation measures.

13. CONCLUTIONS:

Given that there exists water supply system in the project areas and that ground water development and exploration has been earlier conducted, the assessment and the literature review revealed that the project has no major environmental and social impact and that the few concerns raised can be addressed as suggested in the ESMP framework in the report. However, there is a major gap is the lack of human capacity and skill within the Federal and Federal member state ministries to run the project after it is completed. As such there will be great need for both short and long term training programs to build capacity within the government.

Improving Access to Water in the two urban areas of Somalia will bring immense benefits to the water sector including strengthening the Federal Government of Somalia particularly the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources
